I stored a lot of square hay in dirt floored sheds. I leveled the dirt out and then laid a sheet of heavy plastic down. I then laid 1/2 plywood down over the plastic. The plastic kept the ground moisture out and the plywood kept the hay from sweating/molding from the top. The bottom bales where usually in fine shape.
I liked where I could pickup the plywood as I used/sold the hay. So I could back a trailer/wagon right up to the pile to load. The plastic I usually cut off as I went back into the stack.
I found the best plastic to use is the sheets made to be used as bunker silo covers.
I used pallets a few times. About half the bottom hay would be in poor condition.

Then use plywood right on that gravel to stack the square hay on. The plywood will last years. I would use plywood over chip board. The chip board will not last very long. I have some of the plywood that is over twenty years old.
